What does it take to be a cake designer?

Answer 1

To be a cake decorator you have to believe in yourself first, then take everything a step at a time. First, think of if this choice is really what you want to do. Second, check out cake decorating shops. Maybe they can help you. And third, go to some classes for cakes/baking. They are a lot of fun. All you have to do is believe in yourself and you will make it really far.

A cake decorator also spends much of the day on their feet. In and out of coolers, freezers and near ovens. Hauling large buckets of icing. Dealing with customers face to face and on the phone. There is often a customer trying to find fault with your product, in an attempt to get a discount. Working in a shop, decorating, there are often pressures to complete so many cakes in a shift. Wear an apron, for at the end of the shift, the apron will have many colors from icing upon it.

Helpful qualifications maybe Biology, home economics, baking, and definitely business subjects. You may be able to create cake masterpieces, but if you don't have some business training, you won't be able to make any money to support yourself.
